The Sugar Blush Beauties

 * — (View AfD)

WP:NOTE The only checkable references are the subject's own webpages. The other cited references include a magazine called Calabasas (which links to The City Of Calabasas), a magazine called OYE (which links to nothing), a magazine called Peace (no link), a magazine called Infamous (which links to a definition of the word) and Playboy. If 4 out of the 5 magazines a band is mentioned in are not notable enough to have Wikipedia entries, it would come to follow that such a band is not notable.

It would be tough to try to see this band even if you wanted to - whereas a Google search for "The Pussycat Dolls are performing" or "Catch The Pussycat Dolls" returns links, a Google search for "Sugar Blush Beauties are performing" or "Catch Sugar Blush Beauties" returns nothing.

This group was founded by Rachel Sterling, also up for deletion for being non-notable. TruthGal 15:24, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - notability is claimed under the "In the media" but no actual references are provided, and I can't find much through Google so delete for being non notable and failing WP:V. Jayden54 18:07, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete/Comment - Delete per nom. Also, Calabasas Magazine does exist, but it's confined to the LA area (I only know of it because of a Lauren Graham piece from a few months ago). I can't find any mention of this band on their site, so it's possible it could be just a minor profile or even an ad-placed mention (in this issue most likely). Nate 21:07, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, I'm not questioning whether the magazines are legit - I'm just saying that 4 out of 5 of them aren't noatble enough to have Wikipedia pages. And therefore, if a publication that's not notable does an article about a person, one can't then use the article in the non-notable publication to make the case for the person's notability.  Or if you prefer - If someone writes about a tree falling in Calabasas Magazine... ;) TruthGal 23:27, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The mention of the Sugar Blush Beauties in Playboy consisted of less than two sentences in the text accompanying a six-page pictorial of Rachel Sterling. That pictorial could help make a case toward Sterling's own notability but the discussion is so short it doesn't do much to assert notabiility for the group. For the record, the following is the entire text of the Playboy reference to the Sugar Blush Beauties:
 * You can see her later this year in the indie film Price to Play, about 1980s drug culture, or you may catch her dance act, the Sugar Blush Beauties, as it tours Canada with some notable celebrity guests, including our September 2005 cover girl, Jessica Canseco. The group features five model-dancers who do "rock-and-roll cabaret."
